Wow, 1896 was the year that my grandmother was born! With the advent of the motorcar, she decided that she had been thrown from a horse for the last time & never looked back. In fact, she was the first licensed female driver in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada when it wasn't considered to be a woman's place to operate a motor vehicle. If I had a quadricycle, I'd dress in period clothing and tour around the neighbourhood with it just for fun!

Thanks for such a great detailed video! I really enjoyed watching and figuring out how it all worked. It was a very ingenious but simple design. Love how the rocker at the rear controls the valve and the spark at the same time, for both cylinders! Also love the differential gear design! You did a great job of documenting the operation of this little wonder, most videos I've seen are not as detailed as yours. Thanks!

Greeeeeeaaat job making this cute replica. Congrats ! DANY (France)

Esta hermoso este cuadriciclo....Felicidades!

Cool little car! That flywheel looks just like the ones I repair at work for smaller punch presses.

I meant to say that in 1903 when Ford started Ford Motor Company that he purchased his engines from the Dodge Brothers. So. Mr. Alameera - you are correct, the Quadricycle in 1886 did have an engine made by Ford, Henry Ford.

Awesome job!

Great work building this.

awesome piece of machinery.

Straightforward, practical. Remarkable

I liked this car, is amazing!

that is awesome! Good work

beautifully done

Fully aspired by this brillint inventions, i always give a thumb up to HENRY FORD & CARL BENZ

When having to choose between walking or this, going 8mph is always cool c:

put some mountain bike tires on that bad boy now you've got the first ford quad

beautifully done!

Bloody magic !!!!!!!! Jerzy

Excellent!

Well done!

El diferencial está dentro del engrane por el que pasa la cadena, puedes verlo en el acercamiento del minuto 6:00, si pones pausa, posiblemente verás los pequeños engranajes cónicos girando dentro.

So elegant.

great clip thanks.

Wow that thing is beautiful

Nice job.

Very nice one

Henry's motor never came remotely close, even in his wildest dreams, to running that well.

They should make this into a kit, or sell them ready-to-go. I'd buy one...

great vid thanks

Gracias Henry ford’s

Friggin cool!

linda maquina!

me encanta !!!

CUTE! Reminds me of a tune... "His horn (bell) went BEEP-BEEP (ring-ring). Hey buddy how do I get this car out of second gear?"

It seems to run better than most modern cars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Fersomling You can build a Rhodes Car bicycle (2 seat) and put a motor bicycle engine or tiller engine on it and do the same thing, but go about 40mph.

that is so cool

I took a bunch of close pictures of the Quadricycle in the 1980s and the gear and pulley ratios didn’t seem to make sense but now I think it was because they had a belt on the crankshaft that went around the full outer diameter and not the pulley on the side. I have to find those pictures and look again. It makes a lot more sense here although it is still a pretty high gear.

looks like fun

3:38 : The ultimate high speed chase.

Оо форда себе купил неплохо, диски крутые. наглухо затонироваться + иконки повесить

super awsome i want to derive it also whats the top speed on this here machine?

No smog or computer just simple and sweet

Awesome!

Awesome creation!!!!!!!!! Are you a mechanical engineer????? Just wondering....... Also, is the original car still around?????

Imagine using today's high technology to update late steam age tech.

👵old lady back in the day...SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!! you SPEED DEMON!! 😈

esta muy bien, ¿cuanto es el precio total?

The real one is not far from me at the Henry Ford Museum. I've seen it several times over the years. This certainly looks very close. The dash appears red on this replica, of course on the original it's black. This also looks much better than the 117 year old original.

It goes pretty fast :)

stunning!!!! how much hp does it have?

Very nice,did you make it yourself?thanks.

Wonderful machine,but is it not petrol powered?

Legal espetacular

I want one!

nice replica. Imagine such a quad with todays hi tech compomponets.

Ford's first racing car!

a que funciona el motor este que combustible usa ooo el mismo se hace una presion para que jire solo

conque tipo de combustible funciona antonio?

About 44-years later (in 1939) Henry Ford, sole proprietor of the Ford Motor Company, personally, was making 1-Million dollars PER DAY.....and that's back when a Million dollars was worth something!

I did not see brakes on this prototype. how do you stop it?

Cool 😎

Grate man ford

estoy en fabricar uno pero no consigo informacion de como es el sistema electrico de la ignicion... espero respuesta.... saludos

I need one

классно дифференциал на ведущих колёсах

Fast and furious 1896 version

Muy bonito, ¿como lo habeis hecho? , ¿estais en madrid?

nice

I CAN HERE THE SQUIRRELS WORKIN THEIR LITTLE TAILS OFF ,,,,LOL

@jtalton626 and quite a bit faster with longer range too

Muy bonito, ¡sí señor! Parece que no tiene diferencial, pero cuando en el vídeo paráis una rueda con la mano la otra sigue girando, ¿es que la primera izquierda loca y solo la derecha ofrece propulsión? ¿Las ruedas son de bicicleta o son de moto? Y por último ¿lo habéis hecho de cero o lo habéis encontrado en forma de kit? Mucho cuidado con salir a la carretera, que como os pille un picoleto... Muchas gracias por compartir el vídeo.

wow i hope it has good braks...

Wow, that thing moves out quite well. Props to the builders, and it proves Henry's genious. I want to build one with modern ATV controls being the only change.

Yeah, I'm driving a '96 Ford..

What was the outcome of this project? The link is no good anymore.

And just 6 years later - Henry personally set the land speed record @ 76 (?) MPH

es increible, si yo lo manejara seria vergonzoso, para mi

Is that a hit and miss type engine with some kind of unseen speed governor, or is it just misfiring really badly when it gets up to high speed? :) Also, the cam only operates the exhaust valves (and the spark plug on the opposite cylinder...) from what I remember? The intake being suction-based on springs? What kind of speed did you get up to?

@PerezEngines how much would the replicas cost? around?

Great build. But how do you brake? Anyone please?

Seems easier to start than my bike... not bad!

turns better than a mustang

@jgmagoo1 A million dollars is still worth something, a typical house is far less than a million, plus a car, plus a college education plus groceries for quite some time where do you live if you don't think 1 million dollars is worth something?

how much would all of the parts cost????

Sounds just like a modern day Ford

Hello Mr. Esposito Please, visit the web page to get more info

my great grandfather was born in 1896:) no joke

Where is the energy source?

Nice work... but dont show it to the NHTSB... it doesnt have 5 mph bumpers on her.

They see me rollin, they smokin...

where can i buy one

id love to drive that to school

are you going the top speed?

How does this work?

Bom dia felicidade paz Grand invent Union pacific legal mesmo e fundamental forte . Feliz Natal success.

Hit and miss motor?

Man,if a man had one of those in 1896 or 1906 they wouldn't be stuck on the farm and could get to town in a hurry. But don't spend all day in the saloon that contraption will do you a disfavor latter on on your return trip

Mantao kwan

Why the cilinder are red Is this the heat o simple paint ? Sorry my stupidity
